We're fans from the U.S. for a couple years now. We've watched many trainers and Steve you are one of the best! You are so thoughtful and make total sense in training. You and Tanya are doing great work helping others to treat and train horses properly. Thank you for your work.
CONNIE I TOTALLY AGREE, HAVING BEEN TO CLINICS AND TOURS OF OUR NATIONALLY KNOWN HORSE TRAINERS IN OUR COUNTRY OVER 60 YRS, STEVE IS THE BEST WHY? HE REALLY DOES THE LEAST AMOUNT OF STRESS ON THE HORSES AND GIVES THEIR OWNERS CONFIDENCE TO HANDLE THEIR HORSES SAFELY. HE BREAKS IT DOWN TO THE BASICS, LEADING LIKE THE HEAD MARE AND DRIVING LIKE A STALLION. HERD MENTALITY AND, BODY LANGUAGE. YUP STEVE IS THE BEST. Susan
i read a great research paper done in the UK where a safety mirror was used with horses who had panic. I ordered a plexiglass safety mirror to fit in my horse trailer. When a horse sees another horse the stress hormone does not turn on. It worked for our rescue mare that had horrible separation and trailering anxiety. I call it my "magic mirror". So grateful for your work. You are a kind person. blessings from America.
Would have been much better to work through the problem than to just put a bandaid on it. What would happen if something happened to your trailer and you had to bring it home by itself in another trailer. It would panic even more.
I remember when I worked at a stables when I was 18 I had been there for 5 years, a new horse came in a rescue. He was trouble I was told. When the yard was quiet I went to his stable, his head appeared and he just bite me and lifted me up off the floor. I didn’t move away or reacted, spoke to him softly and offered him an apple treat, he was confused but he he took it, we formed a bond there and then. I was the only person who could ride him, everyone else he would throw off, go near him, over time my friend could but I was his favourite . The stables was going to move him on , I pleaded with them not to, I paid for his feed and vets, thereafter. I’m 56 now still miss him. He know I was not a threat to him but a friend.
I am from the U.S., and I know absolutely nothing about horses, but even as a child, I got a terrible knot in my gut when I watched the way horses were ridden in the Western style Hollywood movies. Much later, I have watched many horse video's from quite a few trainers, and I felt a little better, but there always seemed to be something missing. Watching Steve Young, it has suddenly become clear. The thing that has always been missing is that other people know how to train horses, but they don't know horses. What a pleasure to see someone who understands the animals he is training.
Robyn deserves a lot of credit for her persistence and patience, as well as her steady nerves. And a big cheer for Artie as well. With some more work, I think they'll develop into a great team.
I'm watching this from Indiana.... I recently tore my left knee meniscus and have been on crutches for the past six weeks watching these horse videos give me a little little bit of hope that maybe once again I can ride!!!!
I have total replacements on both hips and my left knee and I am back riding. Took a good 5 yrs of surgery total in all and PT but no pain anymore and I'm 69 yrs. old! Keep the faith, hun!
@kajinsautumn9833 I'm 68 the horse stories we could tell.lol Also broken rt wrest left hand broke navicular bone.Ist English lesson broke right upper humerus, ribs.toes .I will not quit horses .
Ah, you're a true horse rider then😅. I've had 3 torn meniscus operations, don't worry, you'll soon be back on board. I had to very sadly stop riding 5 years ago due to fibromyalgia and arthritis etc, but I am 67 now and started riding at 12 , so, hard as it was to stop, I did well and survived quite a few injuries. Happy healing ✨️
What amazing work you do. It’s great to see you help the horses and the owners to grow in confidence and meet challenges, and you do it all with assertiveness and kindness.
Steve u are amazing, I'm 66, 5 foot oap lol leased a 15.2 in Spain 4 years ago. I was soo grateful 🙏 that I found your page, I followed the ground work routine for many months b4 riding...had to sort feet and dental work first. She had a ported pelham I changed to a soft mouth, changed her diet....what a difference you make to hundreds of horses and riders lives, u really are a life saver..thank the Lord for your endless patience and love for horses.
I wish both Robin and Arty to have amazing time together on their journey. :) You are enormous help for troubled horses, Steve. It's a pleasure to watch! :)
Beautiful Arty, so pleased to see him again. Robyn loves her boy and they will develop together over the next few years with good advice. I hope we see him again in the future.
I too have a horse with issues and am learning from him every step of the way. I allow all the time he needs for every step, and he is progressing wonderfully. I have to give up having any set agenda, and let him progress at his pace. A wonderful process. Thank you Steve for showing the challenges. And Robin is brave and skilled already.
Well done Steve and Tanya one reason I follow your channel is you also respect owners you try and focus on positives your not harshly judgemental and condescending you and Tanya and Charlotte treat people and horses positively and try and add value look forward to updates on Argie and robin
@@louisenicholas9104 - absolutely agree with that - Steve has the patience of a saint with some owners what would learn more if they listened and watched and stopped trying to tell him what they do that obviously does not work!!!! He can see what they do by how the horse reacts or what they do not do which is often the case - I get a lesson in patience with my fellow man from Steve!!!!!
Steve and Tanya , I’m a fan from Canada, so enjoy all your work. So very respectful and in tune with the horses, love your gentleness. Wish you lived next door.
Wow, what a change already in this horse, well done Steve. Robyn and mum have a lot of work to put in and they will, Artie is going to be a great event horse. Thank you Steve and Tanya for encouraging them. ❤
Pennsylvania here..wass waiting for an update on Artie..such a difference with your help..THANK YOU so much for helping him..that little box we put them in for traveling is so claustrophobic to most horses..I hope he and Robin can become a great team, even if they don't end up eventing..a great trusting relationship is important too..as always prayers and blessings
I’m also from PA and very eager to see a follow up for them. It’s so hard to find trailers for anything over 17h as well. It’s hard to stop a horse that large when they decide to bolt. I use a stud chain, which really helps keep some control, but it only does so much.
I hate those coffin-like trailers. I’ve never had a hard time with our more open trailers that we use here in Texas. They can at least see through the slats and get fresh air.
Thank you for all you do ! I used the trailer as a feed bin , for this beautiful mare that was injured in the trailer . I put it in the pasture with panels around the back , then put feed just inside the door . It took her about aweek to go in all by herself!!! She had to understand it wasn't going to hurt her . I cried for her huge break through ❤
You are all so brilliant with the horses AND so very generous and kindly speak and teach the people. It never gets old; I love the way you work with people, helping them out of such difficult and problem horses. They are so lucky they met you and you were available to help them on their way :)
That was awesome ❤❤❤, well done and I loved that the follow up was done, this is great education for us all on the fact of foundation is what really needs to be done with all horses and to stay calm, Steve you are just awesome and you give the horses all the confidence they need, love these videos, thank you, awesomeness, ❤❤❤❤
Ohmygoodness! Is that really the same horse? It's so wonderful to see this outcome from all of everyone's efforts. Steve, you and Tanya make such an amazing team. I could watch you all day. My Blaze could be a stinker whenever it came to loading. But he was never a real threat to us while doing it. He just needed a little coaxing. And the fact that he knew there was hay waiting for him didn't hurt! I truly appreciate seeing your wonderful videos. It brings back so many fond memories. And I must say, what unique coloring Arty has. It looks like he was picked up and dipped in paint. But what a sweet boy he is! Hugs to everyone from central Illinois USA! 💕 Suzy
I hope Arty and Robin have many years of eventing together, she seems like a really good, sensible rider so I think she’ll do fine. Love watching your videos Steve, so insightful xxx
Hugr difference in Arty, not biting or nipping, calmer and more self pacified in the stable... total polar opposite loading and even being near the trailer, excellent job Robin and h3r mom on following thru!! Look at what youve achieved and theres so much more ah3ad for yous guys going forward!!! Great job once again Steve and miss Tan!! I truly learn and enjoy all your videos!!!!
Another great job, Steve! Well done Robyn for taking on board what was necessary and doing it. There's a saying - An experience rewarded will be repeated. It's best if we reward the animal, than they reward themselves. Artie had self-rewarded by learning he could run off. Hopefully he will now learn other behaviours generated by people are more rewarding.
OMG the whole time I was fingers crossed saying “come on Arte…come on Arte…come on Arte”. I was ACTUALLY nervous. It was AWESOME when he loaded right up at the end…..you GO Artie!! Things weren’t perfect but it’s a tribute to Robin that she’s willing to work out these problems…and she and Artie proved they CAN be worked out. I would LOVE to see an update on these two. ❤
This work will help him so much, not just in leading and loading, but cross country, if he overwhelms, he can give faith to his rider. It carry’s over into everything. There is a Huge partnership of trust on both sides. And holding it together in dressage, and show jumping. Just, everything.
It's a wonderful video I loved watching. I was so worried for you from the beginning. Arty getting away from Robin into the yard and really the excitement built the entire time until he walked nicely into the trailer with you at the end. So great to be able to see a World Class Teacher do what you do. It gives me hope. Thank you Steve & Tanya good luck Arty Robin & Mom
It is so good to see that they are searching for help. Some people are just to ashamed to admit that they cant handle their horses and than the horses spend their whole lives misunderstood. Love your work and how devoted you are to helping this family. They seem very nice and genuine people
I think all the people having trouble with their horses who see how Steve works, will feel at ease to ask for help… will learn so much from watching his videos so that they start to improve on their own too.
Great news. Arte has the right owners putting in the time with him, well done Tanya and Robyn! You will reap the rewards. Thank you Steve for your expertise, always a pleasure to watch.
So glad things are going in a better way for Artie and Robin. When Artie kept putting his head down I was just waiting for him to start bucking. Lovely video and I really enjoy watching the give and take between you and the horse owners and you and Tanya
so good there are people like you to help horses like this, such a shame there are so many people creating horses with such issues and selling them for too much money and not telling the truth about them to the buyer.
Great video! Arty looks a really nice horse, and will enjoy eventing. I think we learn so much more with a more challenging, green broke horse . I 've learned lots with each horse I ve had over the years ,and apart from 2 ,they all challenged me during their stages of training. It's always ended up getting better and better. Steve will remember my mare, as he helped me with some trailer loading issues, (which are much better now!)
Thankyou for helping this horse and the owner.You are so good Steve a real professional. I notice in the comments some people critisising. This isn't necessary and i consider it unkind.
This was FANTASTIC! What great progress. And yes - right from the start when you went into his stall I could see how much calmer he was. Brilliant job . ❤
Steve you are an absolute legend. Your calm caring nature for not just the horse but the people involved is so genuine and moving. Always so much to learn from you. Please come to New Zealand or Australia, we would love to see you down under
Great progress, all a matter of confidence and leadership. Bless him, he tried so hard and appreciated those little rubs. Good luck to them, Robyn is sure to benefit from lessons with Artie in groundwork and riding. Thanks for sharing, a lot of learning in this one, well like all your videos 👍😊
Please keep us updated on Robyn & Archie. Educational for me with not one but two nervous dogs who don't like to travel. We have taken them out on short drives, but I've said to hubby I'd like to persevere and take them further and then at the destination take them for a fun walk. In other words, my gut feeling on my situation and how you are getting Archie over the fear of travel is the way to go. Thank you for this video and looking forward to the next.
It’s great you can work out these quirky things and shows how horses really can work thru their issues with a person who lets the horse learn small baby steps
Always a cut above, Steve. You're down to earth, honest, and don't judge. So refreshing. I think this horse will be a good for his rider. He'll teach and she'll gain in experience and be able to undertand horses better in the future. I look forward to up dates. Well done so far. He's already looking less tense and happier.
Well done all three of you, especially Robin for working with you in the round pen and pushing on. I prey they both have a great future together. He is a lovely, leggy boy. 🐴❤️🙏🏆
Great to see the follow up video. Didn’t he do well at the end and even in the round pen he did so well. It might have helped him had she been able to sit quiet in the saddle at canter, but great to see him moving forward.
I am a huge fan from Denmark. I really really enjoy “the whole package”. I enjoy travelling with you both in your car - the good Company and getting to see a bit of Britain which I otherwise would not experience and which I always wanted 👌 Mostly of course I enjoy watching Steve working with the horses ❤ I find it really very beneficial and exciting that 8:56 we also get to see it when it is hard or hear about it. With all the competition I Think you are brave and honest❤ Thank you both so much and keep taking Care of each other ❤
That horse acts as though he has not had much kindness and patience in his background. Eventing takes courage in the horse and if he does not trust the rider the courage is not there. Hopefully now he will get what he needs to have the willingness to move forward.
I actually get upset that I am "up to date" with your videos, lol. I no longer ride at my age but STILL MISS IT and just generally being aroud horses. Your videos inspire me & also calm me...❤❤❤
Brilliant as always Steve. You are the best! There is no other trainer or horseman, that understands the why and how to change taken on attitudes and bad thought patterns of horses so beautifully like you do. You have such incredible knowledge, understanding and know how, like no other! It’s the how you train horses that is the magic! You are the problem horses savior! It’s a shame you can’t take Arty on, that would have been the perfect help for him, but I understand completely. He is lovely and very willing. I am sure he will learn to enjoy all that is done with his rider in time, I feel he is probably starting to already after your helping him. His whole future depends on a good trainer to show him how wonderful it can be between horse and rider.. I wish Robin and her mum Tawnya all the best for their future with Arty. I am sure it will go a long way. I hope together they can make dreams come true! Thank you Steve and Tanya. Lynda🧚🏼♀️💕
Having similar issues I was glued to this!Thanks for sharing your wisdom in a really watchable way. I love your honesty but it gave me hope that with my husbands help we can make loading stress free!
It's such a pain when they do things like that. It's so nerve-wracking, floating a horse, even when they are well-behaved. He looks like a nice horse for Eventing. I horse they sort it out.
Ever since I was little I loved horses, but I was also very much in awe of them. That meant, every time I rode a horse that wasn't steady, I panicked inside! When I finally bought my own horse, a large trotting mare - this was in Mallorca, where there are loads to buy, as Trotting races are very popular there - as she was large, she rather frightened me. She always walked with her head up in my outdoor arena, looking for potential dangers, I believe. So, I lunged her for months too, with I think its called a draw rein, to bring her head down and teach her to stretch downwards. This was, I believe to undo the training she had received as a young horse, as for the races they want the horses to trot with their heads up, necks forward. I eventually succeeded and had some great rides on her. Out and about, she was calm with others in a group, but on our own, she was somewhat nervous still. But by then I had learnt to not be afraid of her anymore. I read years ago that horses always believe when we are afraid of them, we are afraid of something and start looking around for the danger they believe we have perceived. They don't connect our fear with themselves. That knowledge helped me enormously when around nervous horses! Also, that they see everything much bigger close up, so us too...
Brilliant! He’s a beautiful horse and Robin will really come to appreciate him, as she progresses in her equestrian journey. There was a shot near the beginning while up by the trailer with the barn behind you while holding Arty, whereby be he actually dwarfed you. You wouldn’t think he’s big but he is, especially when he has someone to measure up to! Hopefully this will work out for them! It must be an awesome feeling you get by helping all these horses and people to move forward. No doubt you’ve saved many lives along the way! Quite an accomplishment especially when dealing with some of the horses that you so. Definitely Arty’s not an easy horse but there’s for sure potential, if Robin keeps it up. I’m glad they’re doing another follow-up with you. Hopefully your trip to the U.S. was a success for your first demonstration … it was the 10th or 11th of March … right? Or is it May that you’re booked for!?! Anyhow, thanks for sharing and a job well done Robin! I think you’re off to a better start with Steve’s help! Happy Trails! 🙌🙏❤️🇨🇦🍏🐎🥕🐴🍎
Hurrah on the progress! Question… is the bit a little more tightly held by the reins in the arena than is comfortable for him? Would that be an issue that could help resolve more issues? I’m not expert by any means and would love the clarification.
I think Steve did tell Robyn to release the rein more on him at different times whilst riding in the arena, but as “we all know”(?), riders, especially if a bit nervous, wary or focused on other things, don’t always hear instructions immediately. 🙃
Steve and Tanya another quality video. You're not wrong about learning from these horses as my first horse taught me a hell of a lot and prepared me for the many rescue horses I took on for the next 50yrs. ❤ I do wish you had been around in my earlier years to help me with some of your advice. 😂 At times I think I could have done better in communicating to my horses, but my love and respect for them got us through. God bless and I pray your trip will go productivity. ❤
We're fans from the U.S. for a couple years now. We've watched many trainers and Steve you are one of the best! You are so thoughtful and make total sense in training. You and Tanya are doing great work helping others to treat and train horses properly. Thank you for your work.
Same here. He's doing a show in May I think. It's gonna be great!

It's been amazing seeing these troubled horses work through their issues with your excellent handling. Thank you for sharing these videos.

You are a true horse whisper. I mean that in the best way
So glad things are going in a better way for Artie and Robin. When Artie kept putting his head down I was just waiting for him to start bucking. Lovely video and I really enjoy watching the give and take between you and the horse owners and you and Tanya
Thank you Steve and Tanya! Been waiting for this ❤️🇨🇦
Wow, Archie is huge! Well done Robin. Thanks Steve and Tanya for this episode. Always enjoy watching the MAGIC happen🥰🇨🇦Sharon.
so good there are people like you to help horses like this, such a shame there are so many people creating horses with such issues and selling them for too much money and not telling the truth about them to the buyer.
Great job Steve u worked your magic with terrific hard work. You and your wife are a joy to watch and listen to 🎉🎉🎉😊
I thought considering he is a gangly lad he seemed to move towards enjoying himself. Those last canters were promising. Well done Robyn.
I get relaxed watching you work with the horses. Thank you for building my confidence!
Great video!
Arty looks a really nice horse, and will enjoy eventing.
I think we learn so much more with a more challenging, green broke horse . I 've learned lots with each horse I ve had over the years ,and apart from 2 ,they all challenged me during their stages of training. It's always ended up getting better and better. Steve will remember my mare, as he helped me with some trailer loading issues, (which are much better now!)
Oooo! Been looking forward to this. Have my fingers and toes crossed with you Tanya.
Thankyou for helping this horse and the owner.You are so good Steve a real professional. I notice in the comments some people critisising. This isn't necessary and i consider it unkind.
That was almost unbelievable how much Arty changed so fast! Teamwork makes the dream work! Excellent job Mr. Young. Here here!! 😊
You're a brave man Steve Young! When I look at him I imagine him in the Kings Calvary. He's gorgeous
I wish I had half the courage Robin has!
Brilliant all around. A fine future for Arty event horse, what a big guy he is. Robin is a lovely rider too!
9:48. WOW!! Walked up the ramp & into the trailer like he’s been doing it his entire life. Brilliant!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was FANTASTIC! What great progress. And yes - right from the start when you went into his stall I could see how much calmer he was. Brilliant job . ❤
Big improvement from the first time, well done Robin for doing the work.
Steve you are an absolute legend. Your calm caring nature for not just the horse but the people involved is so genuine and moving. Always so much to learn from you. Please come to New Zealand or Australia, we would love to see you down under
Thank you for sharing this. Steve is the best teacher and trainer!
Great progress, all a matter of confidence and leadership. Bless him, he tried so hard and appreciated those little rubs. Good luck to them, Robyn is sure to benefit from lessons with Artie in groundwork and riding. Thanks for sharing, a lot of learning in this one, well like all your videos 👍😊
Awww-- Arty is adorable and he seems to really like Robin. Your hard work is really paying off!! Best wishes for continuing success❤
Heart melting Steve and Tanya! Best video ever!
Great as always! Love Steve's reference to "my Tonya" ❤😊
Please keep us updated on Robyn & Archie. Educational for me with not one but two nervous dogs who don't like to travel. We have taken them out on short drives, but I've said to hubby I'd like to persevere and take them further and then at the destination take them for a fun walk. In other words, my gut feeling on my situation and how you are getting Archie over the fear of travel is the way to go. Thank you for this video and looking forward to the next.
It’s great you can work out these quirky things and shows how horses really can work thru their issues with a person who lets the horse learn small baby steps
Always a cut above, Steve. You're down to earth, honest, and don't judge. So refreshing. I think this horse will be a good for his rider. He'll teach and she'll gain in experience and be able to undertand horses better in the future. I look forward to up dates. Well done so far. He's already looking less tense and happier.
Well done all three of you, especially Robin for working with you in the round pen and pushing on. I prey they both have a great future together. He is a lovely, leggy boy. 🐴❤️🙏🏆
Amazing Steve 👏 this has been so amazing to watch. Hopefully they can start their eventing journey at some point.
Nice job! Have to mention that I chuckled as you were pulled and disappeared around that corner.
Great to see the follow up video. Didn’t he do well at the end and even in the round pen he did so well. It might have helped him had she been able to sit quiet in the saddle at canter, but great to see him moving forward.
What a fantastic video. If only I'd had these videos as a resource when I was riding!
I am a huge fan from Denmark. I really really enjoy “the whole package”. I enjoy travelling with you both in your car - the good Company and getting to see a bit of Britain which I otherwise would not experience and which I always wanted 👌 Mostly of course I enjoy watching Steve working with the horses ❤ I find it really very beneficial and exciting that 8:56 we also get to see it when it is hard or hear about it. With all the competition I Think you are brave and honest❤ Thank you both so much and keep taking Care of each other ❤
Truer words have never been spoken, Steve. The most challenging animals have taught me everything. Thanks as always for sharing.
Check the saddle too !!!
"Horses..the worst of them sense our fears and take advantage of us. The best of them sense our dreams and take us there..."
That horse acts as though he has not had much kindness and patience in his background. Eventing takes courage in the horse and if he does not trust the rider the courage is not there. Hopefully now he will get what he needs to have the willingness to move forward.
Arte is a big, beautiful boy. Worth the efffort, definitely.
I actually get upset that I am "up to date" with your videos, lol. I no longer ride at my age but STILL MISS IT and just generally being aroud horses.
Your videos inspire me & also calm me...❤❤❤
Learned a lot from this one. Thank you from 🇨🇦
You outdid yourself Steve. A 17.2 that can now be managed without danger or injury. Thank you for sharing. 🐴
Once again, your calm consistant work, pays off. How much I have learnt from you. Thank you Steve.

Brilliant as always Steve. You are the best! There is no other trainer or horseman, that understands the why and how to change taken on attitudes and bad thought patterns of horses so beautifully like you do. You have such incredible knowledge, understanding and know how, like no other! It’s the how you train horses that is the magic! You are the problem horses savior!
It’s a shame you can’t take Arty on, that would have been the perfect help for him, but I understand completely.
He is lovely and very willing. I am sure he will learn to enjoy all that is done with his rider in time, I feel he is probably starting to already after your helping him.
His whole future depends on a good trainer to show him how wonderful it can be between horse and rider..
I wish Robin and her mum Tawnya all the best for their future with Arty. I am sure it will go a long way. I hope together they can make dreams come true!
Thank you Steve and Tanya.

Having similar issues I was glued to this!Thanks for sharing your wisdom in a really watchable way. I love your honesty but it gave me hope that with my husbands help we can make loading stress free!
What a brave lad, well done Steve
It's such a pain when they do things like that. It's so nerve-wracking, floating a horse, even when they are well-behaved. He looks like a nice horse for Eventing. I horse they sort it out.
Ever since I was little I loved horses, but I was also very much in awe of them. That meant, every time I rode a horse that wasn't steady, I panicked inside! When I finally bought my own horse, a large trotting mare - this was in Mallorca, where there are loads to buy, as Trotting races are very popular there - as she was large, she rather frightened me. She always walked with her head up in my outdoor arena, looking for potential dangers, I believe. So, I lunged her for months too, with I think its called a draw rein, to bring her head down and teach her to stretch downwards. This was, I believe to undo the training she had received as a young horse, as for the races they want the horses to trot with their heads up, necks forward. I eventually succeeded and had some great rides on her. Out and about, she was calm with others in a group, but on our own, she was somewhat nervous still. But by then I had learnt to not be afraid of her anymore.
I read years ago that horses always believe when we are afraid of them, we are afraid of something and start looking around for the danger they believe we have perceived. They don't connect our fear with themselves. That knowledge helped me enormously when around nervous horses!
Also, that they see everything much bigger close up, so us too...
Brilliant! He’s a beautiful horse and Robin will really come to appreciate him, as she progresses in her equestrian journey.
There was a shot near the beginning while up by the trailer with the barn behind you while holding Arty, whereby be he actually dwarfed you. You wouldn’t think he’s big but he is, especially when he has someone to measure up to!
Hopefully this will work out for them! It must be an awesome feeling you get by helping all these horses and people to move forward. No doubt you’ve saved many lives along the way! Quite an accomplishment especially when dealing with some of the horses that you so. Definitely Arty’s not an easy horse but there’s for sure potential, if Robin keeps it up. I’m glad they’re doing another follow-up with you.
Hopefully your trip to the U.S. was a success for your first demonstration … it was the 10th or 11th of March … right? Or is it May that you’re booked for!?!
Anyhow, thanks for sharing and a job well done Robin! I think you’re off to a better start with Steve’s help!
Happy Trails! 🙌🙏❤️🇨🇦🍏🐎🥕🐴🍎
Hurrah on the progress! Question… is the bit a little more tightly held by the reins in the arena than is comfortable for him? Would that be an issue that could help resolve more issues? I’m not expert by any means and would love the clarification.
I think Steve did tell Robyn to release the rein more on him at different times whilst riding in the arena, but as “we all know”(?), riders, especially if a bit nervous, wary or focused on other things, don’t always hear instructions immediately. 🙃
This was very another very helpful video to watch…appreciate what you do and share!
With so much gratitude!
Steve, you are a true professional
GREAT JOB STEVE THE MM AND GIRL WERE VERY HAPPY ==GREAT JOB ONCE AGAIN 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful work all. Thank you from 🇨🇦
Steve and Tanya another quality video.
You're not wrong about learning from these horses as my first horse taught me a hell of a lot and prepared me for the many rescue horses I took on for the next 50yrs. ❤
I do wish you had been around in my earlier years to help me with some of your advice. 😂
At times I think I could have done better in communicating to my horses, but my love and respect for them got us through.
God bless and I pray your trip will go productivity. ❤
Yes! I would love an update if you could. Many thanks.
Very good lesson for owners who have problems.
